It was said that Mu family returned to Dongping Palace, Niu Jicheng heard about it, and he went there for several days without seeing anyone. It was just that he had official duties, so he took such a long leave because of the death of his wife. Now, first of all, they are making peace with each other, and Mu family
When he returned to Beijing alive, his boss, General Gan Lei, sent people to urge him to return to camp. For the Niu family, state affairs were far more important than family affairs. Niu Jicheng left without saying a word.
In this way, from the perspective of idle people in the capital, it is self-evident which of the two reasons for their divorce is true. If the king of Dongping County allowed his daughter to reconcile because he did not want to delay Niu's continued marriage, then Mu's family would
How can I not return to my husband's house while I'm still alive? It's just that there was a misunderstanding before, and getting married again made it difficult. For a moment, the wives and grandmothers in Beijing secretly rejoiced. The Dongping Palace has great military achievements and has stood firm since the founding of the country. Even the girls in their family are
Suffering a loss shows how ruthless the great lady Jiang is and how biased the Zhenguo government is. Would a girl from another family still be alive if she married into another family? The family in the government suddenly became a lot more desolate.
Mrs. Niu has long looked down upon these things. The decline of their family in the past few years was even more bleak than this time. After her son gained face in front of King Yan, all the flatterers came back. In the family, the women are nothing, and the men are promising.
That's what matters. King Yan must have never heard of the rumors in the backyard; even if he had, he would never not use Niu Jicheng because of this.
Aunt Niu also knew that her natal family's reputation was not very good outside, so she stepped up her efforts to win over Liu Yunxi, and even invited her to her natal home. Mrs. Niu came out to see her in person, and saw that this girl was not only beautiful, but also behaved as if she were in the palace.
, Qidao: "Do you also have such rules in the south?"
Liu Yunxi said: "Our family hired two aunts from the palace to teach the girls how to behave."
Mrs. Niu nodded repeatedly: "I know you understand, which is extremely rare." She couldn't help but smile, feeling extremely satisfied.
It didn't take long for the matter to be settled. There was an uproar in the back house of Beijing. Someone wondered: "Hasn't the Rongguo Mansion heard about the Niu family?"
Another said: "That woman is not from the Rongguo Mansion, but is just a relative of the Outer Fourth Road. Besides, now that things have happened, how can the Zhenguo Mansion dare to let the Jiang family do it again?"
Another one said: "Yes, Mrs. Mu blocked the arrow for the daughter-in-law behind Mr. Niu! The arrows were all gone, and the rest will be much safer." He regretted it and said, "What a pity! Mrs. Niu was originally
She likes my three girls. At that time, I didn’t expect that I would lose contact with their family. Otherwise, where would the barbarian girl from the south get her turn?”
Some people felt sorry for Liu Yunxi, gritting their teeth and saying, "The Zhenguo Mansion was so quick to attack! It's such a big piece of fat, and they took it away before anyone else heard the sound."
Someone pondered: "Er Master Niu is a popular figure in front of the prince. Prince Teng is far away in Lingnan, and he borrowed his wife's niece to marry him, probably to show his loyalty."
It was inevitable that someone would talk about this in front of Situ Pan, so Situ Pan asked Feng Ziying to ask Jia Cong. Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "I think too much. Didn't everyone think Niu Jicheng's wife was dead a few days ago? He happened to have something happen to him.
He came to our house, but I was not at home. Originally, a guest like him would only wait in the Xiangnan Hall; the people below didn't know what they had misunderstood, so they took him to Qilai Zhai."
Feng Ziying said: "Your Qilaizhai is originally an outer study room, a serious place for entertaining guests."
Jia Cong said: "Guests are also divided into relatives and strangers. That Miss Liu doesn't have many rules and doesn't know there are foreign guests in Qixie Zhai, so she went to look for a book..."
Feng Ziying said "Oh": "I see."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "It doesn't matter what Niu Jicheng's reputation is and Miss Liu's natal family. They two have an eye for each other. She is not like me. If someone wants to get married, why should I stop her? I'm too lazy to do that."
Feng Ziying said: "I heard that Miss Liu is very good-looking, and she can be considered a talented man and a beautiful woman."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It's only the prince who cares about talent. My sisters will definitely not mess with a person like Niu Jicheng."
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Why is Niu Jicheng a clay sculpture?" Jia Cong then told Niu Jicheng that he had to "keep his wife filial piety" in response to his "question of being unloving." Feng Ziying was stunned. After a while, he said, "Does Miss Liu know?"
Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "She said that it was because Mr. Niu didn't love the Mu family at all, but he only respected the rules. She also said that she and he must be in love." Nai spread his hands and said, "What can our family say?
What?"
Feng Ziying shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know how high the sky is." She found it funny again.
He turned around and found an empty space to talk to Situ Pan casually. Situ Pan said, "That's all. Wang Ziteng pays a lot of taxes every year to show his loyalty. Why bother to go around in such a big circle to show his loyalty." That was settled.
It's just that although Mrs. Niu, Mrs. Jiang, has attracted a lot of criticism, she has made more friends outside the house than before. Mu Shi was very surprised and secretly came to Chen Ruijin to discuss it. Chen Ruijin laughed and said: "How can a woman like her come from a high-ranking family?"
Is there any big family? If you are interested, find out who are the friends she has made since her evil deeds were spread, and then check these people. I guarantee that none of them have clean hands."
Mu asked curiously: "Even so, if you know that no one in Beijing wants to see her, why would you go against the odds and make friends with her?"
Chen Ruijin said: "Your natal family has a high family background, so many people have gone out to her natal family, but she dared to attack her. It took two years for the incident to be exposed. It shows that you have no evidence in your hand - otherwise, even if you are an idiot, you would have told your natal family early. This shows that Jiang
She is very clever in her methods. People like her want to gain some experience from her so that they can learn from her later."
Mrs. Mu couldn't laugh or cry, and regretted: "I don't know how many innocent women they want to harm."
Chen Ruijin had a flash of thought and asked, "Is this the case with Jiang?"
Mu shook her head: "My mother-in-law said that my father has his own arrangements, so that I can rest in peace, take care of myself, and wander around to relax."
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "The prince has his own way of venting his anger on his daughter. Does the princess want to vent his anger on his own?" Mu asked with his eyes. Chen Ruijin said, "Actually, there are many men in the world who are as honest as Niu Jicheng.
I have never taken the backyard seriously, and I don't think much of women. If the princess is interested, she will list all the tricks of fighting and stumbling over the women in the backyard - not like writing a comment, but
It is as serious as writing "Tiangong Kaiwu", written as a piece of knowledge. Let Jia Cong's bookstore print it, and then use some methods to hype it up and become the talk of the streets..."
Mu couldn't help but think deeply. With her identity and experience, if she wrote such a book, the readers would inevitably think: Could it be that all the methods in it were used by Jiang? It is impossible to say that Jiang will be infamy for thousands of years. Compared to her
I was digging a trap for Jiang's mother-in-law, but in the end I didn't know if I could trap Jiang herself. Chen Ruijin's method was not only direct, but also interesting. He gradually relaxed and said, "What an idea! I wonder where you came up with it."
Chen Ruijin smiled: "You just go ahead and compile the book! When the book is finished, it will be time to celebrate the New Year. When the New Year comes, Jia Cong is going to persuade the second master in this house to order the second sister-in-law Bao to go south and reunite with the second master Bao.
Give him a grandson earlier. Then just say that you want to go out and relax and go with her. When you get to Chengtian Mansion, there are all kinds of schools there. If you want to learn something, just go to it." She said calmly, "It's so hard to hold it back.
Shi Li!"
Mu couldn't help laughing: "Why did Shi Li offend you?"
Chen Ruijin snorted: "Ask him! He would rather offend a villain than a woman." He clapped his hands again and said, "Qian'er got the news that a man named Zhou Ji, whose origins are unknown, sent a very powerful general to the Nanyang Horse Guards.
Come to the archipelago and kill everyone. You have occupied most of the island without any effort. They are looking for talents right now. They say that the land is already there and no one is helping to take care of it. Anyone who is talented, regardless of gender, old or young, is welcome. Why don't you go there and work?
I'm going to leave." Shi Li probably won't be able to leave the capital in the past few years.
Mu asked curiously: "Do they allow women to be officials?"
Chen Ruijin didn't answer, but asked her with a smile: "Have you ever seen a map of the sea?" Mu shook his head. Chen Ruijin turned around and took out the world map recently published by Zhonghua Book Company from his desk, and pointed it out to her, "This is where I am headed.
This is the Dacheng Kingdom - the leader of the country is our dynasty's former North Jingjun Wang Shuirong; this is Burma, which is now occupied by the King of Shu; this is Tianzhu, which is currently a vassal state of Western England, and will be returned to the West in the next year at most.
King of Shu. This large piece of land is Borneo. In fact, Java only has this idea. Chinese people are more familiar with the name of Java. Zhou Xiaolan, the king of the country. This piece of land is Luzon, this piece is Malacca, and this piece is Jin.
This area is called the Malay Archipelago. The people of Zhou Ji are planning to occupy these areas. Because there are still some natives, the small country owner is unwilling to submit, and the area is huge, and they have not finished conquering it yet."
Mu thought: "Since Zhou Ji has the same surname as Zhou Xiaolan, could they be the same family? Luzon and Malacca happen to be at opposite ends of Java, and Jinzhou is so close to Java Island that Zhou Xiaolan didn't even bother to fight."
"Others have also guessed the same, but there is no way to ask them to verify it." I can't tell you that Jinzhou is the other side of the Strait of Malacca. Zhou Xiaolan left it to Jia Cong in order to thank him for the suggestion. "Zhou Jiyong."
This is also your prince's policy in Japan. Whoever opens up wasteland will get the land. Many people from Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are ready to go there."
Mu said: "Isn't the battle not over yet?"
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "These places were previously occupied by Westerners, and various ethnic groups live together. For the people, it is just a matter of changing owners, which is not a troublesome thing."
"Is that Zhou Ji fighting with the Westerners now?"
Chen Ruijin thought for a moment and decided not to tell her about the good deeds done by the old Taoist priest Zhenming and the female guards of the palace. If Situ Pan knew about it, he might become suspicious. "It seems so. I just learned it from Haishang's mouth."
I only know a rough idea."
Mu smiled and said, "I thought you knew everything."
Chen Ruijin also smiled and said: "I have never been overseas, so I can know everything there is."
Mu lowered his head and looked at the chart carefully for a long time, then suddenly looked away and pointed: "Is this North America?"
Chen Ruijin nodded: "It's big! The land is fertile and can grow crops very well. King Yan is more talented and strategic than the other kings. King Chen was the first to send troops overseas, and he couldn't even go to Japan. Comparing Japan with North America, it's almost impossible.
Worse than soybeans. By the way." She pointed again, "This is Australia. Apart from the poor natives who have very few ideas, it is basically a wasteland."
Mu was shocked: "It's so big! Is there no one there?"
Chen Ruijin said: "Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, will send troops here next year at the latest - not to send troops, but to immigrate. There is no one there, who will his troops fight? It's just that everything is difficult."
Mu thought for a moment and said, "He is quite smart. This is the best place for his family background. No one has yet competed with him."
Chen Ruijin said: "Besides, their family is from the navy, so it is cheaper than other families."
Mu looked at the chart again and sighed: "Of the four princes, two have become foreign rulers." He pointed to another place and said, "Isn't there any prince who has made plans for this large area?"
"How is that possible?" Chen Ruijin said, "Wu is the richest country, and conquering Japan is just a test of the waters. It is said that there are dozens of imperial cities made of gold on this land, and the King of Wu loves nothing more than money." She smiled, "
Besides, Wei Ruoheng, the general of Wu State, and Wei Ruolan from Beijing were half-brothers, and they harbored a hatred. Seeing that Wei Ruolan was being reused by the King of Yan, Wei Ruoheng would have nothing to do with his time.
What are you doing?" What's more, Jia Cong sent a special battalion of soldiers to the Kingdom of Wu a long time ago. He secretly met with Wei Ruoheng and told him that King Yan wanted to use the smallpox epidemic to open a way for the army in North America.
Prescription for vaccination against cowpox.
Mu thought thoughtfully: "I have heard about Wei Ruoheng's origin." Then he sighed, "What a pity. If he was still in the Wei family, it would be great for the two brothers to join hands."
Chen Ruijin said: "If he was still in the Wei family, one of the two brothers would have to be eliminated. I didn't see that Wei Ruolan was at most an ordinary general's disciple in his early years? How could he be provocative? It's not that Wei Ruoheng has made a name for himself in Japan, he is not convinced.
That’s all.”
Mu smiled and said, "That's right. A good man has his ambitions in all directions."
Chen Ruijin said: "A good daughter generally has ambitions in all directions. Three princesses, as long as a man is capable, the prince and the emperor will not care whether he is good to his wife or not, and whether he has done anything wrong in the management of the house. He can inherit talents from cows.
It has been decided long ago that we will join the plan of King Yan and leave a name in history. If you don't come up with some ideas, you may be written down as Zhu Maichen's wife in a hundred years."
Mu suddenly raised his eyes: "That's unreasonable!"
Chen Ruijin said calmly: "History books are written by men, and history books are written by victors. Even if there are no history books, there are still so many rumors, legends, and legendary stories. If you think about it, you two will never be written down by future generations.
It’s so frustrating to let people go.”
Mu bit her lip and said after a while: "Who knows who Zhou Ji is."
Chen Ruijin said: "The information in the south is much better than that in the north. You can go there and find out more. It doesn't matter if you don't go overseas. You have to come up with something. Don't let him compete."
Mrs. Mu stared down for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "I didn't expect someone to encourage me to start a career! Didn't I think about it when I was young? But girls can't help themselves when it comes to their family background."
Chen Ruijin high-fived: "That's right! Where there's a will, there's a way. Who can do better than the other?"
Mu looked at her and said slowly: "Miss Chen, you are really good at talking. No wonder Mr. Jia fell in love with you regardless of his background."
In order to show that the daughter-in-law she had chosen was noble, Mrs. Niu had already sent word outside that Jia Cong's fiancée, Chen, was the daughter of a large merchant in the south. She must have known about it in the Dongping Palace. Chen Ruijin did not explain, but said with a smile
: "It was his blessing to meet me. Otherwise, he would have died many times ago." Mu Shi smiled at her. (. Just Love Network)
